This must be the highest-profile-ever performance of the song with the often-omitted “private property” verse:
There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn’t say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.
And so, in a thoroughly brilliant illustration of why Woody wrote that verse, HBO go and slap a “private property” sign on the recording of a free concert.
You couldn’t make it up.
